Councilman Cellars secured the pas

and other things on the streets. ' The
object of the ordinance is to prevent

Councilman ' Cellars,- referring to his
ordinance. . . -.-
An ordinance prohibiting the circula
tion of moving signs, placards and other
advertisements was passed but was af

Councilman Annand, who introduced It
The councilman" explained that some
words, considered necessary to make
the ordinance sweepirtg, had been left
out. These were inserted out on motion
of Councilman Baker the measure was
then referred to the street committee.
The proposed law allows only business
houses to use - peripatetic advertise
ments, and then only to advertise their
own business. '
As the ordinance was changed after
it had been reconsidered it prohibits
the carrying of boycott signs such as
were sometimes used by the labor un
ions against firms under their dis
pleasure.

With the testimony of the five wit
nesses called by Attorney Joseph N.

mony before the - interstate commerce
commission was concluded' 'at : noon
today,. . . . ,.'
Questions, asked of the; witnesses by
attorneys from both the railroad and
tha shipping interests made still clearer
tha fact that the ratea made bv th
railroads are of benefit to the eastern
manufacturer and to the detriment 'of
the Pacific coast manufacturer and

It is evident that tha commission is tak

and in the proportion of eastern and

jobbers In Pacific coast cities.

Mr. Caftan said that his company la

to Portland by water, thereby saving
aooui ou cents a aeg, ana tnat tnis sav
ing is so large that it amounts to one
half a cent a pound even when small
quantities are sold to the ultimate con
sumer. Mri Luckel. in - reply to Mr
Teal's questioning, said that the rate
on soap into Portland is 80 cents per
hundred, and on cottonseed oil, out of
wnicn mucn or the soap is made. Is 90
cents per, hundred. The Standard Oil
company, he said, practically controls
tne cottonseed output. Most of th
cocoanut oil used .by him he purchases
in an r rancisco, but it would be as
cheap for him to buy It in New York,
as they add the rate from Ban Francisco

Three witnesses were examined by
the interstate - commerce commission
yesterday afternoon In the attempt to
get. at tne reasons wny Portland's dis
tributive rates are kept so high that
this citvis placed at a serious disad
vantage in the fight for trade with the
east The. witnesses were A. J. Kings-
ley, a chair manufacturer; H. Witten
berg, of the Pacific Coast Biscuit com
pany, chairman of the transportation
committee of the chamber of commerce,
and J. R. Bowles,' a structural steel
manufacturer. .
In every case the testimony was to
the same "effect that Portland's dis
tributive rates restrict "the territory that
this city can ship to, and that they are
unreasonably high, as compared with
those of similarly situated cities in the
east and middle west. The point that
Portland does not wish the old rates to
Spokane restored necessarily, but does
wish a corresponding cut In rates to
coast terminals, wss emphasised.'
Mr. Kings ey said tnat aa compared
with Grand Rapids, Mich., It cost him
about three or four times as much to
ship chairs out of Portland for th
same distance. Portland ought to be
a very desirable place for manufactur
ing chairs, said Mr. Klngsley. but the
excessive distributive rates make it im
possible for him to ship more than 10
per eent of his product eaat of the Cas
cades. "
Says Trust Zs ravored.
Mr. Wittenberg gave the railroad at
torneys as much as he got when he
was called to the stand, and left both
Mr. Dlllard and Mr. Cotton without
much enthusiasm to put Questions to
him.

would take 10 years to complete the

Mr. Teal contended that it Is abso

Indigestion Is the original cause of the

does not digest the food properly, anl
